i dont see the problem unless it was the same person repeatedly going back , at the end of the day its the crappy self service tills thought and the supermarkets for being lazy and relying on computers to do a checkout persons work!

They don't even need to do this actually - on the new self service systems, the CCTV is digitised and indexed with every single transaction. You can open up an interface, scroll down a time line of transactions and it will show you the relevant CCTV

Problem with that is each transaction will be digitized showing the customer paying for it and completing a valid transaction and receiving the "correct" change I should assume as if it wouldnt be logging giving out the incorrect change, So pretty useless and the evidence is showing no crime took place. Unless the op went around waving his change he received at the cctv, and then he could just say prove the cash wasnt in his hand already, prove he counted it etc.
 
I'm just wondering what possible kind of error could lead to one of these giving double change. Not mechanical I doubt as it was both notes and coins. Software? I don't really see how it could happen either.

I'm calling shenanigans.
 
Really don't think a multimillion pound company are going to go throught to effort to see who's been given too much change, it's probably about 0.000000000000000000001% of their profit any way. Also a chance it was doing it all day and everyone who used it got double change (staff wouldn't have noticed any who, it is Asda after all...)

Yeah the thing is if it was the self service at fault it would be every single person who used that till that night not just the op, so doubt the bloke who goes back for the pack of chewing gum after buying something is gonna set off alarm bells to be honest.
So saying they will get a printout will probably just show every single transaction getting stuffed up not just the Ops, unless he goes around with weird devices to stick to the side of it etc. And if each wrong transaction is indexed well it will most probably be indexed with everyone else who used that machine that night getting double change also.
Plus if the till has been loaded incorrectly surely it will show everyone getting the correct change not the actual amount they got? The only way they will know it is wrong is at the end of the day when they try and balance up what that till took?

To note my recipt said the correct change each time just dished out double cash....
 
Tesco in my town doesn't call the cops if they catch you pinching a bottle or 2 of Whiskey or summit they just Ban you.

Please feel free to pop in & raid the place at any time without fear of Prosecution.

(You have no idea how much the above has made me laugh I can barely type- Ok you had to be there **** off :p)

What the OP did isn't very criminal, not his fault it give double change. If he was to hand it in someone would have pocketed it else where.

Yeah, you might want to run your interpretation of the law past a solicitor.

But still, what does this mean :

LOL do you really think the police would care? Stop being silly. First off it is tescos mistake, secondly he paid cash how would they ever trace him? They are not going to go through the effort of getting the car reg, then DVLA then sending the police round.

No, it is very criminal. It's quite a factual situation as he's knowingly deprived someone/thing of property that doesn't belong to him. Fits nicely into the definition in the Theft Act.

What you mean to say is that morally it's not wrong. Which is open for debate.
 
good job imo its the same as the "please check your change" signs you see in a lot of shops telling you once youve left the shop its your own fault! it works both ways!
 
Fair Play mate thats amazing what you did.

Seriously anyone here whos saying its theft or moaning about it should chillout.

This , just state that you had a sign around your neck that they should check their own change and that once you have left the till you are not responsible.
 
I had to laugh at this thread, I think I would have been just happy to be up after the first transaction and have some plausible deniability, anything more is just plain asking to have your collar felt
